Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Water - 100 milliliters
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Egg - 1 large
• Ground pork - 100 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Chili oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Scallions - 2, chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Cilantro - a handful, chopped

Steps

1. In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt together. Gradually add the water while stirring until a dough forms.
2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
3. While the dough is resting, prepare the sauce. In a pan over medium heat, cook the ground pork until browned. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
4. Stir in soy sauce and chili oil, and let simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. After resting, divide the dough into two equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope, then flatten it with your hands and stretch it into a wide noodle shape.
6. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles for about 2-3 minutes until they float. Drain and rinse under cold water.
7. To serve, place the noodles in bowls, top with the pork mixture, and garnish with chopped scallions, sesame seeds, and cilantro.
